A not-so-popular teenage girl being adopted by two of the most notably beautiful and socially powerful girls in high school is a dream for many and an achievement for very little. Christine Paolilla was lucky to have that and so much more from her two best friends, 18-year-old Rachael Koloroutis and Tiffany Rowell. But when distance drove them in separate directions, Christine began to feel a buried rage deep inside that she refused to hold onto. On July 18th, 2003, she unleashed that rage in the most evil way possible. Kayla and I discuss this case and much of the controversy that comes along with it.

Abby Williams and Libby German are the best of friends---smart, considerate, with bright futures and aspirations ahead of both of them. On a chilly day in February of 2017, everything changes. Two families desperate for answers, a town of only a couple thousand constantly on edge, and a killer still on the loose. Kayla and I introduce you to a fairly new case that remains unsolved as of 2020.

One fateful night in January of 1992, 12-year-old Shanda Sharer waited for her parents to go to sleep before sneaking out of the house with a group of supposed friends with the intention of meeting up with her new girlfriend, Amanda Heavrin. She got in the car with four teenage girls, one of which was very close to Amanda. Little did Shanda know, this was the biggest mistake she’d ever make. Kayla and I go over a 28-year-old case and the ripple effect it caused. Can someone who premeditatedly and cold-heartedly murder someone truly be rehabilitated?

It is not often that you hear of female serial killers, but they are present throughout history. Myra Hindley, a British woman from Manchester in the 1940s, aided her pseudo boyfriend in the raping and killings of four different victims, all aged between 10-17. Where Hindley was the bait, her boyfriend Ian Brady was the assailant. Despite knowing his actions were wrong, Hindley was so fascinated with him that she couldn't help but oblige. I take the wheel for this episode while Shayla takes the passenger seat as we discuss two of the most prominent serial killers in the history of the United Kingdom.

June 1965: Sisters Jennifer Faye Likens (15) and Sylvia Marie Likens (16) board with a local and very reputable woman named Gertrude Baniszewski along with her seven other children at their parent’s will so that they can travel the West Coast for work. For the first week, everything in the house is cordial and the girls blend in with the kids quite well. Soon after, Gertrude’s state of mind takes a dark twist… and drags Sylvia along with it. “One of the worst crimes ever committed in the state of Indiana” is the center of this episode and Kayla and I give you the nitty-gritty, with details taken from House of Evil: The Indiana Torture Slaying by John Dean.

“In the eyes of a child, Mother is God.” This is a direct quote from the 2006 horror film Silent Hill. In reality, children learn to trust their parents before they can trust anyone else. What happens when that trust gets broken, and instead of looking at your parents for guidance and comfort, you look at them out of fear and distress? Riley Ann Sawyers, only two years of age, experienced this firsthand in 2007… and Kayla and I dig around so that you don’t have to.
